i went to my first peace rally and march tonight.
it was incredible.
at one time there were probably 350 of us all joined in solidarity.
Hey, what do you think about the French expressing their personal liberties?
You mean their president trying to power play the United States because he has oil deals with the tyrant and knows he'll never see the money they owe him when we change their government for them?

the following are web sites for several organizations sponsoring programs for member of the armed forces overseas.
service member do value and appreciate such expression of support:
ok i will try to say this in a most gentle way...the soldiers are brainwashed people who fight for more than dubious reasons....so there is no reason in my opinion to support them.
The most comical thing I may have ever read.
As someone who spent 10 months over there last time I obviously take Lew's stand on this one.

that phrase -- along with "weapons of mass destruction" -- is a term that i hope soon passes out of popular use.
i wonder who coined that phrase: "shock and awe.
" i'm sure they are terribly proud of themselves... the idiots.
"Shock and awe" . . . my butt
No matter the name, it's still just a good old fashioned ass whipping. After 17 UN resolutions and 12 years, gee I think it's time.

has any of you seen the movie joe dirt?
hubby wanted to rent it last weekend so we watched it.
ok - very dumb movie - but there was an underlying moral to the story that just jumped out at me.
I've seen the movie, and never thought of it that way. Good points!

Being a veteran of the first Gulf War I would love to see the Iraq situation solved peacefully, however I also understand the type of individual Saddam is and always has been. That being said you don't want to wait for him to get nukes, because then he becomes a nut with leverage and that is dangerous to everyone. As far as France goes, I did find this article sort of interesting.

it looks inevitable.
do you think this is more a carry over from president pappy bush's not getting the job done while he was in office?
do you think the usa and it's allies can fight multiple wars??
The bottom line is Saddam must be stopped from using weapons of Mass Destruction. I'd say stopped from making them but anyone who is realistic knows that part is too late. He is not only an enemy to the U.S. but he is an enemy to the entire world. Do you think if we looked the other way 12 years ago he wouldn't be in Kuwait today??
He is a threat to his neighbors, his own people and eventually if not taken out will become a major threat to the entire world. Whatever it takes to get it done we must do it.

okay, an elder just showed up at my doorstep and he was wearing sweat suit and sweat pants and he was alone.
whats up with that?
is this a new tactic to get me to talk?
I know what I would tell him, but that would get you d/f'd for sure.

anyone here ever wanted or had the desire to serve in the military while you were a jw in good standing?
would you do it now if you were younger and within the ages that they require for new recruits?.
are you willing to give your life for your country and what you believe in?
Joined the Navy 6 months after I DA'd myself. I stayed in for 10 years, went to the Gulf War and many other places. I wouldn't trade it for anything and would do it again in a second.
